Clark and Schrager got into it during an episode of ‘Get Up’ on September 5, with Clark taking things too far during a disagreement over Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb’s performance against the Philadelphia Eagles.

“We shouldn’t do this on TV,” Clark said. “I apologize if people think this is rude — that’s the non-player in you.”

“Don’t belittle me like that, I can come and say as three ex-players are saying one thing, and give an alternate perspective,” Schrager shot back.

Clark took a lot of heat for the comment and later backtracked with an apology, but a report from Front Office Sports suggested he was on thin ice with The Worldwide Leader In Sports.

“Clark is a repeat offender. There’s only so many times you can screw up and apologize before ESPN decides your talent is not worth the headache,” the report read.

Mina Kimes shared her two cents on the ESPN controversy this week, having appeared on the ‘SI Media’ podcast with Jimmy Traina.

She insisted that Clark doesn’t believe one has to have played the game to deliver worthwhile analysis.

“I’ll tell you who doesn’t think (you have to be a former player to analyze the NFL), is Ryan Clark,” she said (H/T Awful Announcing).

“Because he has been probably one of my biggest advocates since I started doing this job.” 

She added:

“And people always ask me, is it hard because of your gender, and I say, yeah maybe because of fans. But so much of my career I attribute to the former players, especially the main guys on NFL Live that I work with, because they have done such a fantastic job. Not just behind the scenes, we have so many conversations about football, I can send them clips and they can answer questions.

“But on camera too, if you ever watch a show, they sell me, frankly, to our viewers in a way that I believe has been instrumental in me doing the job I do.”

Clark and Kimes have an excellent working relationship and have been on ‘NFL Live’ together since 2020.
